Struggling with data connection from my mobile phone still, but have done an update on AFF with some pictures as that seems to be behaving a bit better for me than PF so ive had to turn images off in my profile on PF to get the pages to load without timing out.

Click here to see the AFF post:

We're here now, engine is bolted up and we're running it in.

Should start getting some numbers out of it in a couple of hours.

Im having no end of trouble getting a data connection on my mobile as there isnt much signal here, so can someone put a link to this thread on PF for me, and I'll just keep updating here.


Picture of engine running on the dyno, and of the dyno control panel whilst in the special MAD confiiguration





Couple more images, sorry if you get red crosses for a while, still struggling with uploading.





Run in is almost done now, sheady is just starting to play a little, we're stopping for lunch and to cool it down now, so i'll be back on later
